O2 HTC Desire release date postponed for Mid-May

Eager to get your hands on the new HTC Desire from O2? Well you will have to wait a little longer, as O2 has announced that the release date has been delayed until mid-may for more testing. Some potential customers say that the testing is a vital thing for the HTC Desire to function to its maximum capabilities and some say that this delay is of no use as they could release the phone and then release software updates available for free download that will fix the smartphone’s errors, bugs and dysfunctional traits.

Before we finish this, let me take you through a quick specs list of the HTC Desire smartphone: it has a 3.7 inch AMOLED touchscreen display, 576 MB of RAM, 512 MB extendable memory, 3G (HSDPA, 7.2 Mbps; HSUPA, 2 Mbps), Wi-Fi, a 5MP LED and flash enabled camera with smile detection and geo-tagging.

The phone will be available through O2 UK starting in mid-may with a price ranging from £99, but could vary depending on the plan that you purchase with it. If you ask me, the HTC Desire is quite similar to the Google Nexus One, but with a few improvements over the display, RAM and camera. Patience my friend, is a virtue !
